Yes, I immediately thought DJ Mitchell, who is still a good guy to have in the organization.

Oh wait, hah, I misread that as DJ Mitchell. Yeah, Bryan Mitchell is a really good prospect, slightly behind Ramirez because he’s in GCL still but decent fastball with a good breaking ball already at 19 is pretty nice. Good projectable frame too.

I was under the impression that mitchell possesses one of the best curveballs in the yankee system. A legit put away pitch. That’s why I thought his ceiling would be similar to ramirez’s. That and the fact that by the time he fully matures he should be able to sit 92-94 comfortably.

We need to make a collective commitment at RAB to call both Bryan Mitchell and D.J. Mitchell by their full names.

Otherwise, this is gonna get confusing.

Say “I” if you are in favor of “The Mitchell,” for Bryan Mitchell, and “The Other Mitchell,” for D.J. Mitchell. Say “I hate America” if you oppose.

Let’s go with B-itch for Bryan Mitchell, I can’t see any other way to abbreve the name.

Sam

There are reports of him repeatedly hitting 95. Dude could be a stud.

You’re thinking of DJ Mitchell. Bryan Mitchell has a low 90s four-seamer and a big 12 to 6 curveball. He’s 19 with a lot of projection in his arm and body. As Mike said, he’s comparable to Ramirez…Jose’s got the plus change-up.

For anyone interested, I have a profile going up on Shaeffer Hall tomorrow AM at TYU. He’s in the top 3 in 6 of 8 categories on the PP org charts, yet there’s very little info out there on the guy. It’s called “The Best Yankee Prospect You’ve Never Heard of”.

BTW-There’s a reason why he doesn’t get hyped. His stuff is underwhelming. Great command, works quickly. Marl Buerhle type if he pans out.

Also Mark Buerhle Type doesn’t necessarily mean Carbon Copy of Mark Buerhle but younger. It just means that he will likely be a pitcher with a style similar to Buerhle and if he reaches his ceiling then he could be as good as him.

Good command of inferior stuff usually doesn’t lead to big league success, odds are definitely against him. His minors numbers are awesome in just about every way but this is the type of situation where looking at stats could be misleading and need to be combined with scouting reports. Looking forward to it nonetheless.

Agreed on all accounts.

Why did Stonebrunner and Ramirez only go five innings? What was their PC?

http://soxandpinstripes.net Angelo

I believe it has to do with innings limitations.

Innings limit. You’ll see most of the starters capped at 5-6 innings this time of year.

There’s also an AWESOME extension that allows you to do that if you’re using Chrome. Basically, there’s an icon next to your URL bar that you click on and a search bar pops up. Seven different databases are available and when you type a player’s name in, it opens a different tab for each database you select. It’s the shit.

Btw, the extension is called, “baseball player search”, for anyone who’s using Chrome.

Too bad he’s older than Montero in the GCL.

Isn’t he also 21 and half and pitching in GCL? Seems like a non-prospect.

dennis

Mitchell last 2 starts: 10IP 2H 2BB 10K.
anyone have any velocity reading? pre draft he was 91-93 with a plus curve.

Sam

Apparently he’s still around there but he can run it up to 95.

Will in NJ

If those reports (hitting 95) are true then that’s very impressive for a 19 year old.

Does Kuo have a translator? Just curious in light of Ozzie’s recent comments
